Wilde Legacy - Chapter 35

"They're doing that kata thing again, right?"
"Yeah." Ryder nodded, then sighed sadly. "The lesson is almost over."
"If you like it so much, why aren't you taking lessons?" Denver asked.
Ryder grimaced. "My father won't let me. He says I need to focus on school for now."
"Oh, that sucks."
"Yeah. But he says that as long as I keep my grades up, he'll let me join when I'm a teen."

A few moments later and the lesson was over. After a quick change of clothes, Theo approached the kids. "So, what did you think Denver? Did you guys have fun watching?"
"I would've more fun doing it," Ryder mumbled.
Theo sighed. "Don't start, Ryder. You can have your lessons when you're a teen. Until then you'll have to settle for watching."

Meanwhile, across town Stephanie had met Jason in front of Edgewood's bookshop. She was still a little bit mad at him but in the end couldn't refuse him when he asked her to meet him here.
"So, aren't we going to go in?" She asked.
"No."
"Uh!? Why not?"
